My dear brother-in-law, John Eastman, has passed away. Having known each other for over 50 years it is an extremely sad time for me, and our families.

John was a great man. One of the nicest and smartest people I have had the good luck to have known in my life.

Not only did he help me massively in my business dealings as my lawyer but as a friend he was hard to beat.

His sense of humour always shone through in everything he did and his devotion to his family was supreme.

We had so many fun times together through the years, but when the time came to be serious, he was unbeatable.

There is so much more that can be said of his incredible qualities, but words can hardly describe his passion for life and our affection for this amazing man. He will be sorely missed but always held dear in the hearts of those of us who knew and loved him.

See ya Johnny!

Love Paul

A true friend.  Sorry for Paul's loss.

^ Is that Bea perhaps?

ETA: Yes, article said it was her.

Feel guilty looking at paparazzi photos, but always gives me comfort to see him with family - so many pictures with Mary and Stella, it's nice to see his other kids now and then.

Bra is 18 now, maybe he figures she's can make her own decisions about it now. Or, maybe he just has an occasional smoke while enjoying a vacation.

Sorry I hope this is wrong but on another Grammy Site it said that the Foo Fighters have swept the Rock Category Awards.  Maybe the death of their drummer Taylor Hawkins was a big factor afterall.  I hope this is an incorrect report but it was a headline so it appears that our guy Macca has been "shut out" once again.  Foo Fighters wons all the Rock Awards including Rock Song and Rock Album.  I like Dave Grohl a lot but I wished Paul would have won one of the Awards.

Show doesn't even start until 8:00

hey Oh Darling...there are a lot of Pre-Award "On-Line" Grammy things going on over the last couple of hours and that was one of the last Grammy Announcements I read.  Hope I'm wrong but I don't think it is another April Fools joke.  It seemed very official.

It's for the awards they don't want to televise.  Can't imagine that rock album of year is among them.

Ok, I stand corrected.  Apparently rock is that unpopular.

Still in St Barts & smoking? A joint?

The article said he was enjoying a cigarette, but I'm not sure.  I'd rather he be smoking a joint than a cigarette to be honest.

What's Drive My Car doing on the list of songs from 1966?  Released in 1965.

How can they sell tickets for a show that isn't even officially announced?

Hope that rumor isn't true.  Strange venue.
